Reduction of cybercrime happens here, by information sharing. It takes hobbyists, companies, non-profits, and government agencies sharing data and taking action where they can (talking mostly to hosting providers and website owners on that one).

If you are a company who employs IT people, encourage them to report and share infosec stuff, malware alerts, spam trends, blocklists, etc. Encourage them to make personal contacts with other IT people because personal relationships work MUCH faster than abuse contact email addresses.
